      Retired from Public Service

                                                            

 

 

                                          A Quarter Century of Public Service             

                                                    “It’s important for government to listen.

                                                Sometimes people just need to be

                                                heard, even if you can’t solve their

                                                problem, if they are given a sense that

                                                somebody has heard them, and understood

                                                them, it makes all the difference.”

 

 

 

 

– Liz Blaney, Board Treasurer NHSJ

 

 

For over 25 years, Elizabeth Blaney has been a part of the fabric of New York City government. Starting her career path at the Mayor’s Community Assistance Unit (CAU) in 1980, she served as liaison to Southeast Queens communities. Liz’s personal warmth, empathy, and sincere approach to individual and community concerns made her a clear choice for the Community Assistance Unit….

 

Liz’s selfless commitment to the communities she lives and works in reflects the real definition of public service. Liz’s dedication and her life’s work have helped to shape a model of government that improves the lives of those it serves.
